ICAO: Government Safety Inspector – Personnel Licensing (GSI PEL EN): Virtual CLassroom
COURSE GOAL
The Government Safety Inspector – Personnel Licensing (GSI PEL) course is intended for Civil Aviation Authorities
(CAAs) involved in developing or upgrading their own State licensing or PEL system. The course is designed for
a group composed of personnel assigned to a CAA’s PEL office. Participants are taught how to establish and
maintain a CAA PEL office, and factors to consider when obtaining services for the PEL system from an outside
service provider. Participants will be instructed on how to develop knowledge tests for a licensing system and
ensure the validity of the tests. Participants will learn the licensing process from application to issuance of a license,
in addition to procedures for validation or conversion of a foreign license and suspension or revocation of a license.
Classroom exercises will provide practice in how to determine if an applicant is eligible for the license sought, and
if the license applicant successfully completed the demonstrations required for a license. The course is based on
ICAO’s Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs), Model Civil Aviation Regulations (MCARs), and technical
guidance.
